Fourth Gen iPod on Apple Store

So Apple has put up the new iPod product page on the Apple Store, so if you had any lingering last doubt that the Newsweek leak was legitimate it can now be put to rest. As is my usual response to an Apple product launch, I was initially underwhelmed, but have started to warm to…

Verizon Adds Treo 600 to Website

Verizon leaps headfirst into 2003 with the addition of the PalmOne Treo 600 Smartphone, the hit all-in-one mobile wonder that most of our first-adopter customers already jumped ship to go use. With an updated version of the Treo just around the corner, be literally one of the last people on your block to take advantage…

Crowson TES 100 Couch Shakers

If you’ve ever said, “You know, I just didn’t feel Jet Li’s punch right in my ass,” when watching a DVD — this is an especially strange thing to say if it’s not even a Jet Li movie — then Crowson Technology’s TES 100 “tactile transducers” might be worth keeping an eye, or ass, on.…

Neonode N1 Details: Pint-Sized Powerhouse Pared

Neonode has updated their (annoying, Flash) product page with some real live information about the shipping version of the Neonode N1 GSM phone, including information about the features that are there by default, and those that will be included via free firmware updates in the future. In all, it looks to have the majority of…

Monday’s iPod Revealed

We hoped too hard, but it’s still not bad. Here’s Monday’s Newsweek cover with Steve Jobs and the new iPod. We’ll have more details as the come. Also, what the hell is an Iraq? (Thanks, everybody!) Update: Oh hey, the article is online now, too. Read – iPod Nation [MSNBC] Update Update: And another article,…

New iPods on Monday?

ThinkSecret is reporting that the new iPods will be announced Monday, will be cheaper than the current models (I doubt this), and will not be released in different colors (as previously reported), but will instead be launched in the trademark white. If that’s the case, I would expect the new iPods, which are said to…

Stamp Cups and Elemental Coasters

Thosten Van Elten.com is making the imbibing of two of my favorite liquids even more fun, as if that were possible (gilding the liver, some might say). These “Stamp Cups” by Valeria Miglioli and Barnaby Barford turn the inevitable spilled coffee into an opportunity to add attractive swoops and swirl patterns to your nice linen…

“Canon” Turns Plants, Flowers Into Speakers

The Music Bird Corporation has developed a fantastic new product that is only slightly tainted by their ad-copy flim-flammery — the “Canon,” a series of vases and flower pots that actually use the leaves and flowers of plants as speakers. The Canon (a play on Japanese words for flower (“ka”) and sound (“non”)) uses an…

Creative Portable Media Center Skewered

If you’d like to read a review of the Creative Portable Media Center with “so much added (and useless) commentary that Gizmodo would be ashamed to publish it,” ExtremeTech has a very unpositive, baseball-centric review. While I don’t think that portable media centers are going to crash and burn, necessarily (although the ones hobbled by…

Visteon Dockable Family Entertainment Center

Visteon has a new portable DVD player that does something that’s actually pretty innovative, if sort of in a “oh, duh” way. They’ve made their new portable DVD player dockable, so that when attached to an automotive roof (ceiling?) mounting kit, the picture will flip and work like a regular in-car DVD player (that is,…

Free Ipods: How To Beat The System (Sort of)

So Free iPods, right? Apparently there’s a sort of multi-level-marketing promotion through the site FreeiPods.com, who will give you a free iPod mini, 15GB iPod, or $250 iTunes gift certificate for signing up for one of their “online offers,” like signing up for AOL Broadband or Ancestry.com. The idea is, of course, that after six…

Lindsay Lohan’s Sidekick: We All Have Our Little Slips

I guessed, but I guessed wrong. Lindsay Lohan’s Sidekick was bejewelled — with Swarovski crystals, no less — by none other than local mobile couturists NYC Peach. How do I know? It’s on the freaking website. Well, and a bunch of you guys told me. My reputation as a hard-hitting technology journalist is besmirched forever.…

Seidio 2-in-1 Headset/Headphones

I can’t tell if Seidio’s new 2 in 1 Headset is only for the Treo 600 or if they’re just capitalizing on that smartphone’s success, but either way the combination headphones/phone headset looks pretty decent, with one touch call answering, and in-line volume control and all the other things you’d expect from a hands-free kit.…

Boom Boom Box

Sure, it’s cheesy, but there’s a surprising amount of potential use to be had from this $20 Boom Boom Box. Four AA batteries power built-in stereo speakers inside a water-proof casing that even comes with a hanger so you can hook it on your shower curtain rod or nozzle, turning almost any portable audio player…

UK Firm to Add Music Downloads to DAB Radio

Reuters brings word of a plan by British digital radio firm UBC to add downloading capabilities to digital radio receivers (like the BUG, pictured) — something that, it a sense, they can already do. While many of the current crop of digital radios can record the audio being digitally broadcasted (either through an on-board interface…

D-Link DSM-320 Wireless Media Player Reviewed

The Apple Airport Express (shipping this week, by the way) is a decent option for those already using iTunes, but what if you want to stream more than that? NoDRM takes a(nother) look at one option, the D-Link DSM-320 Wireless Multimedia Player, an 802.11g-enabled streaming media outlet that can stream not only audio, but all…

Aiptek PocketDV 4100

It’s probably not going to give you the same sort of visual fidelity of a nicer camera, but for $230 the new AIPTEK PocketDV 4100 looks like a fun diversion, with a 4-megapixel sensor and a 1.8-inch color LCD screen. Keep in mind that the 4100 doesn’t use tapes. Instead, it has a Compact Flash…

Ad Copy of the Week: MetaSonix Agonizer Tx-1

Is reverse psychology the one where you tell me not to pee on a spark plug but then I do and then everybody laughs at me while I’m writhing on the ground holding my crotch? Because I think MetaSonix is using that sort of psychology on me again to incite desire of the Agonizer Tx-1,…

NHJ v@mp VP-325/350 Color Screen Flash Players

NHJ’s v@mp VP-325/350 flash memory players will hit the Japanese market in the end of July in 256MB and 512MB capacities, respectively. Although the players aren’t really that special from a music angle (they’re still stuck with USB 1.1, for instance), but each player does have a 4,096-color 1.9-inch LCD for displaying pictures and games.…

DC/Incase Design Skatebag (Now with Images)

Reader Lee Crane sent me images of the DC/Incase Skatebag, the backpack announced yesterday designed specifically for Powerbooks and iBooks, although I have a sneaking suspicion that you could even put a gnarly PC laptop in there just fine. It’s not skatepunk-priced, though — this plasticy camo bag will set you back $120. Guess it’s…
